I've generally had great experiences renting on Airbnb but I can’t say that Pascal’s place was a great experience. There were good things about it to be sure, but there were also some issues, possibly due to the fact that Pascal was out of the country at the time and couldn’t personally oversee the apartment. There wasn’t a point of making a big deal out of them so I just let rolled with it and handled those that I could on my own. To be fair to Pascal, I’m going to mention them privately to him. I genuinely think that he’ll make sure they aren’t issues in the future because I think he’s a responsible and responsive host.
First the good things. Location is close to the BTS, close to Villa Market, Starbucks, Au bon pain, and Terminal 21. Pascal provided dishes and cookware and utensils which got used just about every day. Fridge was a good size and the people in the building are friendly. Want laundry? Go to the one in the basement. Currently 69THB per 1Kg.
Now for the not so good things related to maintenance that really ought to be addressed, and perhaps future guests can weigh in on the status. The apartment had a musty odor that would get worse when coming home after the AC was off all day. Turning on the AC would clear some of the smell for a time but by morning after a night of AC the smell would sometimes be worse. My best guess is that the AC filters really need a good cleaning, and the condensation lines drained. The windows are really dirty; I’m sure they haven't been cleaned in several years. The shower head is low at its highest position. I’m not a tall guy but I had to bend a bit to get fully wet.
If he fixed these issues, I’d definitely be happy to stay again.
